Germany stumbling block
Teuton's Interests Greater Than Those
of Rival 'on the
west.
The empire cf Morocco, au absolute
despotism, has been in a stele of tur
moil for many years past, owing to the
natural course of events in a country
unrestricted by any laws, civil or reli
gious, and also on account of the steady
warfare which the sultan, Mulai abd
el-Aziz, has had to wage against the
pretenders to the throne.
This caused a feeling of uneasiness
among the Arab tribes in Algeria, the
adjoining French territory, and led to
efforts on the part of France to assume
a guardianship over Morocco.
Germany was not willing to unre
scrvedly agree to this, being second
only to Great Britain in the extent of
her interests in Morocco. In 1902 the
imports of the three powers into Mo
rocco were: Great Britain. $0,210,000;
Germany. $1,S50,000, and France, $CS0,
000. The exports of Morocco to the
three powers in 102 were to Great
Britain, $2,999,000, to Germany $535,
000, and to France $7S5,000.
France, pursuing her Moroccan poll
cy, sent a special mission to Fez last
year. Germany and Great Britain did
the same. Ths German emperor went
still further. He visited Tangier
March 31, 1905, on the imperial yacht
Hohenzollern, but remained ashore
barely two hours. During that time,
ho made a speech of which several ver
sions were published. The substance
of his majesty's remarks, however.
was that, he assured the German resi
dents that the sovereignty and inte
grity of Morocco would be maintained
The same day the then French Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs, M. Deleasse,
made a significant speech in the sen
ate at Paris, during which, after iefer-
ring to the sultan's weakness und the
anarchy resulting therefrom, "preju
dicial to everybody and especially to
France and Algeria," he declared that
"resistance in interested quarters
would not caiue France to modify her
ixjiicy in Morocco. i nis sentiment
called forth vigorous applause.
t 'rentel 'Kurort-.
These utterances aroused both Ger
many and France and caused excite
ment throughout Europe, resulting lat
er in a strained state of affairs and in
the proposition to hold an interna
tional conference oh Morocco.
France and Great Britain April S
1904. signed an agreement by which
the latter in substance gave France a
free hand in Morocco in return for a
free hand in Egypt and the settlement
of the Newfoundland fisheries disputes,
Great Britain also agreed to support
France in her Moroccan policy.
But, in the meanwhile, M. Delcasse
was compelled to resign June (5, 1905.
after directing the foreign affairs of
France since June 28. 1 SDS, and Pre
mier Rouvier took the foreign iort fo
lio. Subsequent developments showed
that the change in the foreign office
probably averted war between Ger
many and France as the former coun
try was pressing the latter very se
verely, diplomatically.
After considerable further fencing
between Germany and Fiance those
two powers on July S. 1905, agreed on
the basis of a program for the pro
posed international conference and
without entering into details of the
reforms proposed, it may be said that
the main and most dangerous point to
be discussed at the conference is the
question whether France is or is not
entitled to have a special and privileg
ed position in Morocco. This is the vi
tal issue and the minor questions, it
has been pointed out, can be adjusted
once, this point is definitely settled.
Germany, it is understood, will seek
to secure international control of the
police, the customs and other matters,
and an "open door"' as to commerce.
On Dec. 14 the French j-overnment
issued a yellow book setting forth its
side of the controversy and Jan. S the
German government published a white
book giving its version of the dispute.

accounts of the brokerage firm of Den

became known. It is the opinion of
one of those engaged, in the investiga
tion that the failure will amount to
from $1,000,000 to $1,500,000.
Prior is believed by bankers who
are probing his affairs to have sold
forged municipal bonds in various
parts of the country to the extent at
least of $100,000. In addition, he was
heavily involved with customers for
whom he was supposed to be carrying
New York Stock exchange accounts.

Who engraved these bonds and who
assisted Prior in disposing of them has
not been revealed, but the bankers
committee which has charge of all of
the affairs of the suspended firm has
put. detectives at work, and arrests
may be expected. That there must
have been several confederates em
ployed in the manufacture of bogus cer
tificates seems clear. The bonds were
sold in small lots, some in Cleveland
others in northern Ohio and others in
Michigan. Still others were distribut
ed, it is believed, through bond houses
in the east.
This much has been discovered. The
bonds were not sold in large quantities
to any one investor and individual
losses will not be heavy. In all cases.
it is stated, the loss will fall upon indi
viduals well able to suffer the loss.
